> I read a lot of philosophy in my 20s, but I think only Marcus Aurelius and Wittgenstein actual made me into a better, happier person. How about Epicurus?

Perhaps he's passed over for some other reason. The few things I've read about his philosophies seem like they're focused on finding basic happiness. Am I just oversimplifying?
